Conor McGregor is eyeing a rematch with Floyd Mayweather, but he wants the terms to be a bit different this time around.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in August 2017, McGregor stepped into the ring for his boxing debut against Mayweather and was stopped in the tenth round.<\/p>\n

The event turned out to be a huge financial success, racking up 4.3 million pay-per-view buys and earning both fighters over $100 million each.<\/p>\n

McGregor has already suggested an MMA rematch with Mayweather at the UFC White House card on June 14. But if he had his way, their next fight would not take place in either boxing or MMA. Instead, he wants something entirely new for both of them.<\/p>\n

McGregor has never ruled out a return to the boxing ring since his debut loss.<\/p>\n

During a gaming stream with his eldest son and Caylus, when asked if he will ever box again, he said: \u201cFor sure, a boxing fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

And of course, that brought the conversation around to a possible rematch with Mayweather.<\/p>\n

When the topic came up, \u2018The Notorious\u2019 floated the idea of facing Mayweather under bare-knuckle rules instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest with you, I\u2019d love to bare-knuckle fight him,\u201d the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship co-owner stated.<\/p>\n

Details of Conor McGregor\u2019s UFC contract<\/h2>\n

During that same stream, McGregor also revealed some surprising news about his UFC contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m warming up now for the White House fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m gonna be at it, for sure. It\u2019s gonna be insane, the White House card is gonna be.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going into negotiations with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in February. I\u2019m very interested to go. They\u2019ve actually got a new deal with Paramount, it\u2019s worth $7.7 billion. So the company has 4x its profit.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy contract, essentially, is void right now because there\u2019s no more PPV, whereas my contract was based on PPV sales,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m the highest-generating PPV fighter of all time. The PPV system is done. I\u2019m due a new contract,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
